I love how you are so honest about your journey and that you are sharing this with us. Since June of this year, I have published about 5 journals/composition notebooks only and have yet to make a sale. So I guess 20 more books to go, but I'm not giving up. Thanks for your advice.
Well done on being resilient. There were so many time where I was going to just stop but if I had, I would never have arrived at where I am now. Yes, more books but QUALITY is key!!!
Amazing, amazing! I am a newbie and I wanted to make sure that any book I uploaded would be inline with customer desires as well as being organized. Your TIPS are just wonderful. Thank you so much. ☕🙌🏼📓👏🏼🙏🏼😁
Good Video. Tips very helpful. I just started with KDP using book bolt. I haven't published one yet, watching a bunch of videos, learning and getting tips and tricks before publishing one.
Thanks for your honest advise. I was thinking to start on low content. This is very useful. There are many video out there but not always mentioning the reality of this business model.
This is such awesome information. I am just getting started and will be patient. I am waiting for the review of my first no content notebook to be approved. I figured I would have to study more about how to get my published work noticed. You have given me such a great point of view of what I must do. Thank you. Hello from Houston, TX.
Thank you for the suggestion. That could be a nice video to create in 2022. I have a Time Management and Organisation course built into my Publishing Accelerator KDP Course as a bonus but I could perhaps touch on a few points I include in that in a RUclips video.
Hey, just started watching your videos and i can say you really take your time to explain and make sure your subscribers get it. I am currently researching. Hopefully in a weeks time i will do my first low or no content book. Kudos!
Thank you for these useful tips Romney. Can you give us a detailed video of how we can organise ourselves as publishers using spreadsheets etc. Organising my life is quite a challenge for me - ADHD playing it's part!
Hi Dee. I'm in the process of creating a brand new course that includes this information but my Free 12 Month Tracker that's available on my Gumroad store could possibly help you for the time being? Check it out via this link: lifegraduate.gumroad.com/l/pWRor
those are great tips for beginners: I'm just starting out on my kdp journey. that Steve McQueen poster behind you ... I"m sure you've had it for a while. that's old school film buff stuff!! 5*
Thank you so much for your very kind feedback! I only have a few items on Etsy currently as most items are on my Gumroad store. My Etsy store is via this link. www.etsy.com/au/shop/TheLifeGraduate?ref=seller-platform-mcnav
Loving your content. Just at the beginning of my journey. Id love a video talking about formulating titles, descriptions and how you enter the keywords? Is it just seven for the 7 spaces or ive seen other persons place multiple in each line. Would love your take.
Hi Martha. That's very kind of you. My youngest son actually edits my videos ( I'm proud of the job he does for me!) and he uses Premier Pro but he started with Movavi.
Great video, thank you for sharing the information. I want to ask if I want to publish a journal, do I need to pay for anything, like advertising? Will I need advertising? is it better to publish one book or multiple at first? Would appreciate the help 😊
Hello Romney, I truly believe in "quality over quantity". Still we need to have some quantity of books to make a decent amount of money :) So could you tell us how many low content books you had to publish to make your first $100 - $300 a month? Thank you.
Hi Damian. Quantity helps you get to learn the important skill of uploading, research, marketing and design for publishing. Overtime, the quantity reduces and you start to perfect the art with quality! Hope that makes sense! It took me approx 20 Low Content books and 10 no content books to make my first $300 but those same books with time now generate $600-$800 p/month with good reviews and correct marketing through experience that you learn over time.
Jon Solow Just getting ready to enter the world of low content book publishing and came across your channel. Very very helpful, particularly for anyone looking to enter the space. 2 questions- (1) are your last three month sales averaging more/month than your breakthrough month? and (2) do you think there is still room for newbies to enter the low content publishing space?
Thanks for your great feedback Jon! 1. There are plenty of fluctuations in sales throughout the year but if you think of it like a growing Stock in the Stock Market, my average sales are absolutely trending upwards and my ‘lows’ are growing each month if that makes sense? 2. In short, there will always be a churn in books and what’s in favour. Things will become saturated in ‘low resistance’ designs like composition notebooks that can be done in 20 minutes. You need to create designs that are more complex and not so easy to make. That’s where the long term income will flow from.
Thank you for responding so quickly, and openly!!! With your permission, I'd like to keep updating you on my "adventures" and observations. Perhaps some of them might add insight to you?
Hello bro again i have a problem when i choose keywords ..(are the good keywords must have low compitition and low bsr or just low bsr and the compitition doesn't matter cause i say that if i put the long keyword phrase in the 7 keyword place i think people will not see my book... And also i use the method of writing words that match woth the nich then make a long keyword with them , if i just put keywords without match like (planner 2021 yoga women ) its normal or must creat a keyword that matched like ( 2021 yoga planner for women ).. Thanks a loooot 🖤🖤
Let me help by breaking it down as you have a few questions. 1. Both a low competition and low BSR are important. If you have say 20,000 search results, your book will unlikely show till page 20+ or more. If you have 1000 search results or less, your book has a much better chance to be shown on page 1 or 2 to customers and therefore convert to a sale. 2. Ideally, find a long tail keyword that matches with what customers are search for. If you try to add words to a ‘short keyword’ just to niche down more, it may not be what customers are searching for therefore your book may never show. I hope that helps. Thanks, Romney
I just started publish my book on KDP platform 5 days ago. Love to watch this honest explanation..
Thanks. Two months In with 500 journals. No sales yet but I love it. I am doing journals in areas I know such as hiking, camping, cycling and scuba
Great Chris. For you it will now be a balance between Quantity Vs Quality.

Thank you for the interesting video with all these tips. Yes, beginning in KDP can be overwhelming.
It certainly can be Sonja. You just have to push through any setback you are likely to face because it’s a very exciting journey!

Thank you Romney. I wonder if you can do a video about "getting organised". Thank you in advance!

You don't have to spend anything but marketing your book will get it in front of customers and without that nobody will ever know your book exisits.
